Aloha Everyone! Changed water tanks this morning only to find that the port one has leaked out on it's own! We are not sure why, still too rough to figure it out. we have plenty of fluids and emergency water meant for the liferaft, so we will be fine. It's just damn inconvenient now even to wipe salt off of our glasses. We are about 650nm from Ahe, should get there Thursday. They will not have much water for us, but hopefully, a little, plus an opportunity to check for the cause and try to get the water maker going again. We had actually hoped we would never even need the port tank (we have tank each side, 60 gallons each.) Has been quite windy and bumpy. We ae trying to stay out of the Sun so are resting more. Skipped the fishing today. Wind should moderate a little by Monday. Aloha, David

  1. Ask Fred to sing you some Hank Williams..."move it on over"... a little rum and he'll remember the lyrics.

    Wow, only 650m to Ahe!
